Leucistic Texas Rats

Some photos of my Leucistic Texas Rats, with no bug eye I'm proud to say. The female my wife called Princess Sparkle ugh and the male is called Walker Texas Ratsnake lol

PS chillin


Showin the Texas Rat Tude


Here is Walker, he's got lots of pink but I think that will fade to solid white as he ages.


The happy couple (& no they are not housed together)


I'm really excited for next year because she is already 40" long and ready to go I just gotta get Walker big enough this summer

Re: Leucistic Texas Rats

Nice! My GF is obsessing over these guys. I can get a neonate for $50...sadly no place to put it at my house and she barely wants to handle my BP. What are your thoughts on this breed?

Re: Leucistic Texas Rats

I think they are a great snake as long as your willing to cull out any babies with the bug eye trait. I have a soft spot for snakes with a tude, plus they look kool.

Re: Leucistic Texas Rats

The gene that causes Leucism is also linked to a gene that also causes an undesireable effect called bug eye, so it's advised to cull these specimins as to not pass along the bug eyed trait and only the Leucism trait. When Leucistic Texas Rats first started to appear a vast majority had the bug eyed trait but it is slowly beeing breed out of them thank god. Honestly I don't know about the $50 US they go for about $100 up here in Canada
